Subject: Action alert: Urge Legislators to Support USA Freedom Act
Date: May 15th 2015

FYI,

As you may have heard on Wednesday night, the House passed the USA Freedom Act of 2015 .  The bill will finally end the "bulk collection" of Americans’ library, phone and many other personal records under Section 215 (a.k.a. the "library provision") of the PATRIOT Act and also will for the first time enable meaningful legal challenge of the FBI’s National Security Letters and the gag orders that accompany them.

As discussed during yesterday’s call, the action alerts asking advocates to call , email , or tweet their Senators and encourage them to support the USA Freedom Act are now live. There is additional information about the bill available on District Dispatch.

Please spread the word!

Best,
